The timeline thing shouldn't bother me - one of my favorite books (Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood) does the bouncing between times and characters - but I've heard the writing style isn't that great. I guess I'll have to read this for myself!<br /><br />- Kritika @ <a href="http://spidersilksnowflakes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Snowflakes & Spider Silk</a>Kritikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264802302099286333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-23261540011099639042014-01-22T15:31:27.668-05:002014-01-22T15:31:27.668-05:00You should!

I like the fact that it's fast paced, and the two sisters in Mind Games both sound interesting to me. And the timeline sounds actually sounds good too.

I definitely think I'm the one in the minority on this one. I haven't read anything else by her so I can't speak to how I feel about her other series. I've been meaning to pick up Paranormalcy, but, you know, there's a thousand books I've been "meaning to pick up."

It sounds like a good plot and writing---though a lot of repetition does sometimes get under my skin.

Your review refreshed my memory a bit, but I may still have to reread. I do remember loving Fia and actually liking the back and forth (both with Annie and Fia and with the past and present).

I read Mind Games a year ago and while I totally agree that the pace is awesome and the plot and the entire atmosphere - I still couldn't really get into the series. I don't know why. I think I just felt...uncomfortable? In the story? If that makes any sense at all. In retrospect I appreciate the fact that Kiersten White has an amazing way with voices, but I can't seem to get into her stories :( Have fun with the sequel, though! Depending on the reviews, I might...maybe...give it a try!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227894711128590561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-43248164718760270402014-01-21T14:19:38.827-05:002014-01-21T14:19:38.827-05:00I feel that all of White's books are polarizin...I feel that all of White's books are polarizing. I think a lot of people really enjoy her style while others do not. Seems everyone is on one side or the other. I'm glad that with your reread you enjoyed it and not much longer to wait until Perfect Lies!
